Reiki Orientation

Come to the Reiki Orientation to learn more about Reiki and
to see if this is for you.

Reiki is a gentle, soothing Japanese touch therapy for
stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is based on the
concept that everything in the universe is made up of energy and that this "life
force energy" that flows all around us is drawn in by the body nourishing the
cells, organs, and glands. When our energy is depleted, imbalanced, or the flow
is restricted by stress and "holding", injury, illness, etc., we are more
susceptible to discomfort, further illness, and disease (as with restrictions
of the circulatory and nervous systems). Once our energy is restored, free
flowing, or balanced, we are more likely to feel relaxed and our body's own
innate healing abilities are "jump-started" and utilized for healing.

Unlike massage, Reiki is administered through a soft touch
rather than deep pressure. While a person is seated or lying down and fully
clothed, the Reiki Practitioner's hands are placed along energy centers and
pathways on the head, neck, chest, abdomen, arms, hands, legs, and feet. As
energy is transferred to the body, the patient may feel warmth, coolness,
gentle tingling, or just deep relaxation. For those in the final stages of
life, it can also provide a more peaceful "transition."
